The cladding assembly has at least one frame section, 4a, 5a, having a gas tight cavity 41, 51 formed therein. The frame section may be elongate extruded aluminium or plastic, and connect to other frame sections at mitre joints to form a rectangle. Cavities may be filled by an inert noble gas, e.g. argon, or insulating foam. The frame sections may have sealable inlet and outlet ports to permit passage of gas (42,52 Fig. 2). Frames sections may have a recess (43,53 Fig. 2) for receiving a snap fit or friction fit retaining clip 9 for retrofitting assemblies to an existing frame to reduce heat loss from building. Also claimed is a window a door having cladding assemblies attached. There may be separate assemblies attached to glazing unit frame 2 and window/door frame 2 respectively. There may be a weather seal 10 covering the gap between frames, and glazing tape 11 between assembly and glazing unit 3.
